Unsecured Property Taxes

Unsecured Property Taxes

Avoid penalties, interest, and fees by paying before delinquency dates shown below. If the delinquency date falls on a weekend or holiday, taxes are not delinquent until the next business day.

The term “unsecured” simply refers to property that is not secured real estate. In general, unsecured property tax is either for business personal property (office equipment, owned or leased), boats, berths, or possessory interest for use of a space. It can also be based upon supplemental or escape assessments against secured property for prior ownership.

Unsecured Escape assessments for prior fiscal years can be set up on a payment installment plan. An Unsecured Escape Installment Plan allows taxpayers to make annual installment payments over a four-year period. For more information, see Unsecured Escape Installment Plan.

Unsecured Supplemental

Unsecured Supplemental

Unsecured Supplemental or Escape- The term “unsecured supplemental” or “unsecured escape” when attached to real property refers to an assessment that is based on prior ownership of secured property. For example, if the homeowner with a 2010 garage addition sold the property in 2012, the bills issued in 2013 to the original homeowner would be unsecured because the original homeowner no longer owns the property. The 2010 supplemental and 2011 escape would be unsecured and billed to the original homeowner. The 2013 escape would remain secured and billed to the new homeowner. As the property changed ownership in 2012, the 2012 escape bill would be split as unsecured to the prior homeowner and secured to the new homeowner.
